[MGG] Waystones
Long treks across a survival world get old fast. [MGG] Waystones solves that problem on the server side by turning a simple Lodestone structure into a full teleportation network. There is no client mod to install, no resource pack to download, and nothing for your players to configure on their end. Everything runs through the plugin and an intuitive in-game GUI.
What [MGG] Waystones Does
At its core, [MGG] Waystones for Minecraft lets you create named teleportation points by placing a Lodestone on top of Smooth Stone. Give the waystone a name, pick an appearance, and it joins your server's travel network. From there, players open a menu and jump between any waystone they have access to.
The plugin draws a clear line between public and private waystones. Public ones appear in the network automatically, so nobody has to "discover" them first. Private waystones stay in their owner's personal list. A simple toggle switches between My Waystones and All Waystones, which keeps large networks from turning into clutter.
Customization That Goes Deep
- Custom block skins, including built-in designs or any supported full-block texture
- Mix and match two textures to build a look that is entirely your own
- Transparent block support for glass and similar materials, using simplified geometry and invisible collision bases
- Custom menu icons for each waystone in the inventory GUI
- Holograms with adjustable name colors and optional creator heads
If you have ever run a server where every warp looked identical, this matters more than it sounds. A network of visually distinct waystones is easier to navigate and far more fun to build around.
Safe Teleportation and Admin Tools
Teleporting is not instant by default. Server owners can configure countdowns, cooldowns, destination preloading, and safe landing detection, which prevents players from arriving inside a wall or over a cliff. Admins can also convert existing waystones into server-managed locations marked with miniature command-block icons, then organize the whole network through a dedicated sorting GUI.
Management happens at the waystone itself. Rename it, reskin it, adjust its settings, or dismantle it while standing nearby. Remote management is intentionally disabled, so the world stays physical and grounded. Breaking a waystone returns its original activation materials right where it stood.
Commands and Permissions
The main menu opens with /waystones. Related subcommands include /waystone menu, /waystone admin, /waystone sort, /waystone reload, /waystone testgrid, and /waystone remove-all. Basic functionality is available to all players by default, while administrators can gate access through permissions such as mgg.waystones.use, mgg.waystones.create, mgg.waystones.teleport, mgg.waystones.teleport.interworld, and mgg.waystones.admin. Ownership limits are handled globally or per player with mgg.waystones.limit.<number>.
Supported Versions and How to Install
[MGG] Waystones targets Minecraft Java Edition on Paper 26.2. It is a server-side plugin, so it works for every player on the server without any individual setup. If your server runs a different build, check compatibility before deploying it to a live world.
Learning how to install it takes only a few minutes. Place the MGG-Waystones-1.0.0.jar file inside your server's plugins folder, then start or restart the server. The plugin generates its configuration under plugins/MGG Waystones/ on first launch. Once the server is up, place a Lodestone directly on Smooth Stone and your first waystone is ready to name.
If you prefer a smoother setup, the foxygame.net launcher handles [MGG] Waystones through its built-in add-on catalog, so the file lands in the right folder without any manual dragging. Players who manage several servers will also appreciate that the launcher keeps installed add-ons updated automatically.
When you download [MGG] Waystones, keep in mind that it is meant to stay free. The author allows use on servers, in modpacks, and in videos, but redistribution or repackaging behind ad redirects and paid bundles is not permitted. If you hit visual glitches, teleportation errors, or conflicts with another plugin, report your Minecraft and Paper version along with the relevant server log.
Final Thoughts
[MGG] Waystones fills a gap that many server owners patch together with command blocks and permission-heavy warp plugins. It is lightweight, deeply customizable, and friendly to players who just want to get across the map. Whether you run a small survival server or a sprawling public world, a well-organized waystone network changes how people move through it.
